Chicago Specialty Gardens

What does this place offer that most other rooftop deck designers don’t? A real-life display of its work that’s always available for viewing (and even rentable for parties). This urban garden atop Chicago Specialty Gardens’ studio shows how solar power collectors, composters, and other eco-friendly mechanisms can be integrated into a lovely, sleek outdoor setting with lush landscaping, ipe wood fencing and containers, a modern fountain, a full kitchen, multiple lounging areas, LED lighting, and a sophisticated sound system. It makes the possibilities seem endless.
